I was referred to Coastal.com by a teaching colleague, and decided to try their "free glasses" deal. I was led to this pair through my own search and also by reading the interviews. Although I was not as thrilled with the color as my former glasses, I did like the way that it looked on my "face" (using the virtual "try-it-on" tool on the website), and I believed it would at least be a good pair to hold me over until I got a real optometrists appointment. I was pleasantly surprised, and I STILL haven't gotten to the optometrist--it's not an emergency anymore! The glasses are definitely more lightweight than I'm used to, but they do compliment my face, and the prescription was surprisingly accurate (even though I wasn't sure of a couple of things!). I'm overall impressed by coastal.com, and I have recommended it to others. I still wish this came in a brown-ish color, or something in that family, but it's still pretty good!

The trend right now is thick nerdy glasses, which I love, and all the metal frames look alike to me. I'm glad I took a chance with these. They're beautiful. I would describe this particular pair as subtle. A purple cateye sounds garish but these were thoughtfully designed. I feel like I could crush these glasses in one hand but that just leaves more responsibility on me to take good care of them. Overall, I am very pleased and would consider buying another pair.
